BBC newsnight flashed up an image of Bitcoin during the headlines - looks like there will be a report about them later.

Actually it was not a bad interview, they had a sceptic and a long time user. The obvious questions came up, "it fluctuates in value all the time, it's unstable" and the guy rebutted to the
question "Are you bothered by it's valuation in time?" by saying:

"The price is actually irrelevant, to the value it provides in being able to transfer value over distance or over the internet, whether it is a nickle or 10k or 100k USD a coin, you are able to transfer value from point A to point B for little or no fees, for me it's mostly the value transfer utility it adds"

Spot on!
